Immerse yourself in the sophisticated world of Bodegas Frontonio Microcósmico Macabeo, a wine that beautifully encapsulates the essence of Aragón’s Valdejalón region. Crafted from organically grown old-vine Macabeo grapes, this Spanish white wine promises a journey through crispness, minerality, and purity.
Bodegas Frontonio - A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Founded by Fernando Mora (Master of Wine) and Mario López in 2008, Bodegas Frontonio is a beacon of winemaking innovation. The winery’s mission is to honor the vineyards of Valdejalón, a hidden gem within Aragón, Spain, known for rich soils and old vines. Their dedication is evident in the meticulous care and minimal intervention techniques that produce wines of superb quality and distinct character.
The Unique Terroir of Valdejalón
Microcósmico Macabeo is a tribute to its origins, from the limestone-clay soils to the high-elevation vineyards in Épila. These conditions allow the Macabeo grapes to develop unparalleled aromas and flavors. The continental-Mediterranean climate, marked by hot days and cool nights, enhances the grape’s natural acidity and minerality, resulting in a wine that speaks eloquently of its home.
Viticulture and Winemaking Practices
- Organic Farming: Certified since 2017, Bodegas Frontonio utilizes organic practices, avoiding synthetic chemicals to nurture the vine’s natural vigor.
- Old Vines: With vines over 65 years old, dry-farmed as traditional bush vines, the focus is on low yields but high-quality fruit.
- Vinification: Hand-harvested grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Aging in cement tanks on fine lees for six months preserves the wine’s vibrancy and purity, eschewing any oak influence.
Tasting the Microcósmico Macabeo
This wine presents a pale golden hue and captivates with aromas of white flowers, grapefruit zest, and green apple skin. On the palate, expect a vibrant burst of citrus fruits with a crisp acidity and a medium body. The wet-stone minerality and dry finish offer a truly elegant experience.
Food and Serving Suggestions
Ideal for pairing with shellfish, fresh oysters, or aged goat cheese, Microcósmico Macabeo’s bright acidity and saline finish enhance any seafood dish. Serve it chilled at 8-10°C to fully enjoy its refreshing qualities.
Recognized Excellence and Sustainability
Consistently scoring up to 93 points from renowned critics like Luis Gutiérrez, this wine is a favorite among those who appreciate both traditional and modern winemaking philosophies. With sustainable practices at its core, Bodegas Frontonio sets an example in environmental stewardship and innovative production techniques.
